Residents and first responders were on high alert for possible land movement in recent burn scar areas as a winter storm moves in.

The National Weather Service has provided a detailed timeline of when rain is expected to hit Los Angeles and Southern California this weekend.

The wet weather will bring relief to Southern California after a prolonged period of dryness, but there’s concern that any bursts of heavy rainfall could cause flooding.

A particularly dangerous situation red flag warning is in place from noon Monday to 10 a.m. Tuesday local time for a large portion of Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

A cold storm system moves into Southern California this weekend, bringing with it the chance for rain and snow in some areas, also sparking concern for flash floods in recent burn scar areas.

A fire broke out Wednesday night along the 405 Freeway in the Sepulveda Pass near the Getty Center, burning about 20 acres and spurring an evacuation warning.

The particularly dangerous situation alert is relatively new to Southern California but has been issued before the recent wildfires that have caused devastation across LA County.

With parts of Los Angeles County still smoldering from wildfires and new blazes flaring up, expected rainfall this weekend would seem like a welcome relief.

Local media reports that these winds could create "dangerous" fire weather conditions that could last all week.
